is your car a 1986? cause then it isn't an ef.

if it is an 86 crx/civic, it's possible, but more of a pain. you have to run another gas line, you have to install a fuel pump in the tank, you have to run a complete new chassis harness, b series requires 6-700 dollar mounts from hasport, and you'd need custom axles.

i'd suggest getting an 86-89 teg motor, the d16a1, they drop right in as long as you have the donor car to grab some other parts.

redpepperracing.com specializes in 84-87 civic/crx's.

if you're talking about a dpfi 88-91 civic/crx, well, its not really a carb, it's a form of throttle body injection with two injectors.

and, just so you know, the only cars that are ef's are actually japanese (maybe european too? i don't know, but i do know not sold in the US, here 88-91 civic crx's are ed's, except for the wagon which is an EE. i'm not trying to sound like an *** or anything, i'm just trying to clear up some misinformation.

Either way if it has an injector is is probably dual-point fuel injection since it looks carburated. But honestly if this is how little your exparience is with swaps and hondas then you might want to get a shop to do it or do a TON of research.... Good Luck
